Carlos Martinez, Bud Norris Unavailable Tuesday

St. Louis Cardinals closer Carlos Martinez and relief pitcher Bud Norris (finger) will be unavailable on Tuesday. Martinez has pitched each of the last two nights, while Norris is dealing with a blister issue and also was unavailable on Monday. St. Louis' bullpen will be short-handed Tuesday night, meaning Jordan Hicks is likely the favorite […]

Mitch Garver Unlikely To Do Baseball Activities Until This Weekend

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver (concussion) is still dealing with concussion symptoms. Manager Paul Molitor doesn't "see anything happening baseball-wise" until at least this weekend. It's looking like Garver won't play again before the end of the season. Catchers Willian Astudillo and Chris Gimenez will likely split time behind the dish, with Astudillo being much […]

Felix Hernandez To Test Injury With Bullpen

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (hamstring) will rejoin the team in Texas this weekend and will throw a bullpen session to test his hamstring before a decision is made on when his next start will be. Hernandez last started on Sept. 8 and would likely only be able to make one more start this […]

James Paxton Unlikely To Throw Until Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher James Paxton (illness), who has been dealing with the flu and pneumonia, is unlikely to throw a bullpen session until Wednesday, which means he's still at least a few days from rejoining the rotation. There's still a chance that Paxton makes one more start before the end of the year, but […]

Dalyn Dawkins Promoted To Active Roster

Tennessee Titans running back Dalyn Dawkins was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad on Tuesday.

Running back David Fluellen left Week […]

Nick Delmonico Scratched With Stiff Neck

Chicago White Sox outfielder Nick Delmonico (neck) was scratched from the starting lineup on Tuesday with a stiff neck from a dive in the outfield he attempted on Sunday. Ryan LaMarre is in left field and is hitting seventh against Indians ace Corey Kluber on Tuesday. You should obviously be avoiding LaMarre in DFS. Delmonico […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Throws Another Sim Game

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) threw a 30-pitch simulated game on Tuesday, and manager A.J. Hinch said it was another good step forward. McCullers could return to the team soon, but he figures to only be a bullpen option moving forward to end the season and into the playoffs. He can be […]

Chris Carson Still Atop Seahawks Depth Chart

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson remains atop the team's running back depth chart heading into Week 3 against the Cowboys. Carson didn't see any action on offense in the second half of Monday night's loss to the Bears as Seattle tried to change things up with rookie Rashaad Penny. Penny wasn't any more effective […]

Trevor Bauer Feeling Great

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Trevor Bauer (leg) threw off a mound to hitters on Tuesday and said he's feeling great. He joked with manager Terry Francona that he would be available in relief on Tuesday. While Bauer is making good progress from a stress reaction in his leg in mid-August, he's likely to only pitch […]

He went 5-5 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 over 22 outings (17 starts) with the Brewers and Orioles in the […]

Andy Levitre Put On IR

The Atlanta Falcons placed offensive guard Andy Levitre (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Wes Schweitzer will now take over as the starter at left guard. The Falcons signed guard Zac Kerin in a corresponding move. It's bad news for the team's running game, and they could be without running back Devonta Freeman (knee) for […]

Michael Fulmer Has Torn Meniscus

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn right meniscus, according to manager Ron Gardenhire. Fulmer has already been ruled out for the rest of this season and will now need to undergo surgery this offseason. Rehab for a meniscus tear is typically around three months, so Fulmer might be […]

Matt Barnes To Return Soon

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes (hip) said he has been throwing bullpen sessions at full speed and will return to game action soon. Barnes has been an integral part of the team's bullpen, posting a 3.39 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and fantastic 14.2 K/9 over 58 outings (58 1/3 innings). He's only useful in […]

Edwin Encarnacion Will Return Wednesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (ankle), who tweaked his ankle on Saturday, is fine and will be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. Third baseman Josh Donaldson will also start back-to-back games for the first time with the team on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Indians have no reason to rush Encarnacion with the […]

Miguel Sano Returns Against Tigers

Minnesota Twins third baseman Miguel Sano (knee) is returning to the starting lineup on Tuesday, playing third base and hitting seventh against Tigers starter Daniel Norris. Sano was out for two weeks, but he can provide those in deep mixed and AL-only leagues with power the rest of the way. It's been a disappointing season […]

Aroldis Chapman Expected To Be Activated Soon

Free-agent wide receiver Jordan Matthews (hamstring) worked out for the Philadelphia Eagles, his original team, on Tuesday, according to a league source. Matthews was released with an injury designation six weeks ago by the Patriots. The receiver left the workout hopeful a deal would get done. The Eagles traded Matthews in 2016 to the Bills, […]

Alex Cobb Throwing Tuesday

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Alex Cobb (finger) is throwing on Tuesday to test his blister. Cobb has been great in the second half, but he was scratched from his start last weekend, and it's unknown when he will make his next start with the season winding down. Overall, he is 5-15 with a 4.90 ERA, […]

Randy Bullock Receives Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Randy Bullock to a two-year contract extension on Tuesday that will run through the 2020 season.

Giants Signing Elijhaa Penny

The New York Giants are signing fullback Elijhaa Penny off the Arizona Cardinals practice squad on Tuesday, according to a source.

Rams Waive Brandon Allen

The Los Angeles Rams are waiving quarterback Brandon Allen on Tuesday, according to a source.

Sean Mannion will continue to serve as the main and […]

Aaron Judge Returns To Lineup Tuesday

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (wrist) will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. He's playing right field and batting second against Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi. At long last, Judge is finally back after fracturing his wrist in late July. He had another simulated game Tuesday morning and hit an opposite-field home run, […]

Luis Ortiz Feeling Better

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Luis Ortiz (hamstring) is feeling much better on Tuesday. The rookie made his first career start last Friday and had to leave early after allowing a run in 1 2/3 innings against the White Sox. He's not much of a streaming option anyways, but Ortiz may just be shut down for […]

Andrew Triggs To Have Thoracic Outlet Surgery

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Andrew Triggs (shoulder) will have thoracic outlet surgery on Sept. 26, and it will be performed by Dr. Gregory Pearl in Dallas, Texas. Triggs was 3-1 with a 5.23 ERA with 43 strikeouts in just nine starts for Oakland in 2018. The right-hander also finished the year on the disabled list […]

Trevor Story May Have UCL Damage

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story (elbow) is facing potential damage to the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, according to sources. The Rockies are waiting for an official diagnosis, but this looks like season-ending injury and one that could require Tommy John surgery, which would compromise Story's entire 2019 season. That's a massive blow […]

Bills Sticking With Josh Allen

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed on Monday that the team will stick with rookie quarterback Josh Allen heading into Week 3 against the Vikings. “I thought he did some good things,” McDermott said of Allen. “He's a young quarterback. Each game, we expect him to get a little bit better and grow. That's […]

Taiwan Jones Did Not Suffer Concussion

Buffalo Bills running back Taiwan Jones (head) did not suffer a concussion in Week 2 against the Chargers when he lost his helmet and then took a hit to the head. Head coach Sean McDermott said Jones was bruised and needed stitches to close a wound on his head. Jones is more of a special […]
